cliveloughlin Posted June 28, 2007 at 09:46 AM Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 at 09:46 AM Hi there I have an offer for Yunnan Normal (BA Chinese Language & Lit) - it starts from 3rd Sept. 07. They are really terrible at answering emails so you better call if you have questions: 0086-871-5516251 - speak to Ms Liu Xin. I'm not sure if the deadline has passed already!

wanderliz Posted June 28, 2007 at 10:08 AM Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 at 10:08 AM thanks for your reply clive. they've already accepted my app, i'm just waiting to receive my visa materials from them. do you know if September 3rd is the date classes actually start? I know there are registration/placement tests beforehand, just need to know how far in advance. (sorry to be so specific - trying to buy plane tickets that maximize my time before I need to be there) thanks for the phone number too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliveloughlin Posted June 28, 2007 at 10:33 AM Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 at 10:33 AM Hi As far as I know the registration covers the placement test...not sure though as it doesnt say - but you must be available to register during the dates above otherwise 'you will be regarded as giving up this admission' (from the notice of admission that they sent me). Best call to clarify cj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanderliz Posted June 28, 2007 at 11:28 AM Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 at 11:28 AM beating a dead horse... "dates" above? your reply makes it sound like perhaps it gives a date range (such as 3rd september through some other date, or some other date through 3rd september.) if so i just need to know what that "some other date" is thanks very much cj Liz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.stinky Posted June 28, 2007 at 01:08 PM Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 at 01:08 PM http://www.icis.cn/en_Article.asp?ArticleId=169 from their website; out of date, but fall semester schedule should be similar. the whole process will take about three days, due to disorganization and their new, improved 4-1/2 hour lunch break. the "placement test" only takes five minutes where they have you read samples from the textbooks.

kasandrea Posted July 4, 2007 at 12:15 AM Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 at 12:15 AM Hi Everyone, Many of you probably know this already, but just in case... Yunnan Normal University now has an updated calendar posted on the English version of their website: http://www.icis.cn/en_Article.asp?ArticleId=273 22 Aug -- 29 Aug 2007: Registration, checking visas, placement test, and paying tuition 28 Aug: Orientation 29 Aug: "Take physical check" 30 Aug -- 31 Aug: Buy textbooks and pick up timetables 3 Sep: "Class starts according to your timetable" I know I was confused at first too though. They sent me an email on May 14th telling me they were sending my acceptance letter and visa forms, but they never told me anything about the school calendar until June 24th. (I am grateful that they took the time to email me back though. ). Anyway, Ms. Liu Xin also told me that the semester ends on January 11th and that their National Holiday goes from 1 Oct to 7 Oct 2007. I'm getting a little worried because my JW202 and Notice of Admission haven't arrived yet. Should I be concerned? Maybe if it doesn't arrive within the next week or so I'll write them another email or actually call. I'm excited to start this new school year (if my paperwork comes in time that is. Hehe). I've never been to China before so this will definitely be an adventure. Maybe I will meet some of you there sometime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffofarabia Posted October 23, 2007 at 05:15 PM Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 at 05:15 PM Does anyone know if there are summer 2008 dates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abuck Posted October 28, 2007 at 06:52 AM Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 at 06:52 AM Is anyone thinking of studying here in spring 2008? I'm thinking of applying, but where do I find the dates and application form? Do they offer spring semester programs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khyber Posted October 29, 2007 at 08:49 PM Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 at 08:49 PM There is an online application form at http://www.icis.cn/index14.asp and you can get the English language explanation of the whole application process at http://www.chinatefl.com/yunnan/study/ynsfdx.html I applied this way a couple of months back and received my JW202 and notice of admission without any problems recently. I don't know the exact dates of the Spring 2008 start as they haven't updated the university website (as far as I'm aware), but going on last year's dates the registration process for the next semester will start in the last week of February. If anyone else knows the Spring 2008 dates I'd certainly like to know! Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruperts Posted November 17, 2007 at 07:50 AM Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 at 07:50 AM ah, i've gone and posted a new thread, only to find this one on the second page! I want to do a non-degree programme, is that what others are doing also? I'll be starting more or less from scratch, i take it they cater for complete beginners?
